Capping Delts

[Blondell]

Which exercises assist in adding caps to delts? I would imagine it is a move such as shoulder presses; is this right? Which other movements help w/ it?

Push presses. Love 'em

[Blondell]

military press?

Just build them up. There's no magic exercise.

Do some heavy work for them, 5x5, 4x6, something like that, maybe some heavy-explosive stuff in the 3-5x3 range or so.

Then follow up with higher-rep work in the 8-12 range for a few sets on a different exercise, something fluff.

This is what I was looking for--I guess I asked the wrong question. Thank you very much.

Is it muscle-builing. Should there be cals over mantainance?

If you want to build muscle, yup.

[Blondell]

so adding caps is building muscle? :oops:

i feel stupid for asking, but if i don't ask i'll actually be stupid. :lol:

The 'caps' are just your delts after they have gotten bigger, so yes that is building muscle.

Pretty sure that muscle is sensitive to andros as well....
